| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Scynic Weekly on Thursday the 28th of August 2025. |
| 0:27.8 | I'm your host Barry Galaher. |
| 0:30.3 | And oh boy, the weeks just keep getting better and better. |
| 0:34.7 | And to bring in the good form the good feeling |
| 0:42.4 | that surrounds our football club right now I have as always Stuart Duggan with me |
| 0:47.9 | well that's a lot of pressure Barry that's a lot of heavy lifting to do to try and create some |
| 0:52.5 | good feeling around the Celtic just now |

| 1:56.8 | And that was just nicely into the opening question. |
| 1:58.5 | So Scott, I'll come to you first actually. |
| 1:59.9 | So how deep rooted do you think the current wave of negativity is amongst the Celtic support? |
| 2:07.4 | And what are the main emotions, frustration, disillusionment, anger that are driving these, sort of the negativity? |
